Harper Valley P.T.A. is a sitcom that aired on NBC. The series was retitled Harper Valley for its second season.
The series went on to flesh out the story in the song, as it told of the adventures of Stella Johnson, a single mother to teenager Dee, who lived in the fictional town of Harper Valley, Ohio. The town was dominated by the namesakes of the founder, the Harper family, most prominently represented by the mayor, Otis Harper, Jr. Mrs. Johnson's flouting of the small town's conventions, and exposure of the hypocrisy of many of its other residents, provided the series' humor.
